ironmedn Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I just saw a vista blue w/white stripe GT 300. Well...that's what the side stripes had on it. Looked like a standard Mustang GT w/stripes to me. Anyone have any input? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500FLYBOY Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 That's probably exactly what it is. At least he's honest. I hate the clones where you need to look under the hood to tell. They make us look bad at the stop light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goumoun Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Check that one spotted in Paris, recently imported form TX. Must be a GT when looking at the gas cap. Can this be called a clone? I don't know really. The SHELBY lettering and the wing delete make for an appealing look (to my taste). I love it , but considering the extend of modifications, I am not sure this is worth it.

Ford did a poor job of marketing the car in the US. I would assume they did not market at all in Europe. in 2007 SAI built 2261 White and 3369 Black. Total of 5630, all with silver stripes. For 2008 they made 100 black with red stripes, 216 grabber orange with silver stripes, and unsure about how many vista blue with silver stripe coupes and verts made. The Black with red stripe cars were Barrett Jackson editions also available in vert. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goumoun Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 The GT500 rear bumper and the wheels confused me. Not a bad idea what this guy did, the rear looks much better than stock GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture was cut from one of the Shelby GT posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICK82 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I saw two "GT300's" in Georgia. I think it's named after the 300 hp 4.6 V8 in the GT. I can only assume they're doing it to emulate the GT500 nomenclature, mistakenly thinking the "500" represents the hp of the engine when this is entirely false. Oh well, both cars looked awful. That Shelby GT in Paris looks clean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still own this car, it has a whipple sitting on top of it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make us look bad at the stop light. I've got a good friend of mine who has a Vista Blue GT, and he installed the GT300 side stripes. He also has some of the over the hood, top and trunk stripes that are totally different from the LeMans Shelby type. He has said that he does not anyone to think he's got a Shelby, he's just customized his to what he likes. I really respect him for doing and saying so. Now, on the other hand, FlyBoy- this one on ebay has really got to get under your skin, huh? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustan...A1%7C240%3A1318 First post but a long time lurker- Best to all, Wags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
